This memorial website was created in the memory of our son Jacob.  Born April 20th 1988.  

Up until September 10th 2004, never did we think we'd ever be a grieving family.  Losing a child in a fatal accident was something that never happened to our family or friends.  It only happened to other people....a friend of a friend, or someone you read about or saw on television..never did we think we'd ever have to endure something this tragic.   

Jake was born on April 20th, 1988 at St. Luke's Hospital in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Died September 10th, 2004 in a 2 car vehicle collision.  Jake was a belted passenger in a Dodge Neon.  Traveling westbound on Rawson Avenue, in Franklin, Wisconsin, the accident occured when an elderly man failed to yield.  Facts of accident evidence indicate the car Jake was traveling in had improper working brakes, which contributed to the death of our son.

  Jake leaves his memory and his contagious smile, with his father Perry, his mother, Karen, his sister Rebecca, Grandparents, Edward, Barbara, Carl & Beverly, many many friends, Aunts Cheri, Debbie,  Sue, Sharon, Linda, Lori, Jill, Uncles Don, Steve, Mark, Tom, Jeff, Dave, Brad and Cousins DJ, Jesse, Hannah, Jessica, Joshua, Zachary, Hailey, Tyler, Austin, Adam, Trisha, & David.  Special Angels Heidi, and Kimberly who have a very special place in our hearts.

We are all here for each other as a circle of friends and family and this web-site is to share our memories and support each other in our sorrow of losing a son, friend, grandson, cousin, nephew. ®

   

...And we know that all things work
together for good to them that
love God.  To them that are the called
according to his purpose.
                                          Romans 8:28
